This is an album steeped in classicism while still creating its own world. It just lacks the killer song. [Oct 2006, p.127]- Q Magazine

St Elsewhere rivals Gorillaz' Demon Days for sheer inventiveness. [Jun 2006, p.109]- Q Magazine

A revelation, brimming with passion and some of the best melodies Young has penned in the last 30 years. [Jul 2006, p.113]- Q Magazine

- Critic Score
It's prevented from turning fancy by its grounding in some rudimentary rock dynamics. [May 2006, p.122]- Q Magazine

While there are hints of tiredness, Grandaddy are not leaving us with heads bowed. [Jun 2006, p.116]- Q Magazine
